"""Store Python objects to (pickle-like) XML Documents Note 0: See http://gnosis.cx/publish/programming/xml_matters_1.txt for a detailed discussion of this module. Some enhancements have been contributed by various users, please see the __history__ for details. Some enhancements may go beyond what is discussed in the referenced article. Note 1: The XML-SIG distribution is changed fairly frequently while it is in beta versions. The changes in turn are extremely likely to affect the functioning of [xml_pickle]. This version of [xml_pickle] is known to work with PyXML Python 2.0 and 2.1b1, and will probably continue to work with later betas. Hopefully, it will also work with PyXML 0.6.1 and above. To download a current version of PyXML, go to: http://download.sourceforge.net/pyxml/ Version 0.22 of [xml_pickle] was designed around PyXML 0.5.2. If you use an older version of PyXML, you may download a compatible version of [xml_pickle] at: http://gnosis.cx/download/xml_pickle-0.22.py And a known-to-be-compatible PyXML distribution at: http://gnosis.cx/download/py_xml_04-21-00.exe http://gnosis.cx/download/py_xml_04-21-00.zip The first URL is the Windows self-installer, the latter is simply an archive of those files to be unpacked under $PYTHONPATH/xml.

""" __history__=""" 0.1 Initial version 0.22 Compatible with PyXML 0.52 0.30 Compatible with PyXML 0.61+ 0.40 Joshua Macy added several worthwhile things. This version is compatibility with Python 2.1 (and 2.0), assuming nothing changes between the beta and release. More importantly, Joshua added checks for cyclical references and for multiple bindings of identical objects. Previously, xml_pickle effectively forced a deep copy; for example: obj.a = aDict obj.b = aDict obj.b is obj.a # True ... pickle then restore ... obj.a is obj.b # False With version 0.40, object identity is preserved across pickling.
